    Mara Jade Black Bodysuit Help (gloves!!)

    I made my off white gloves from the same stretch knit as my cowl, so they match. It was pretty simple - trace the outline of your hand twice on the fabric for each glove (like a little kid drawing a turkey for Thanksgiving 😄), cut them out, sew them together, and hem the cuffs.

    ah ok.  She got her cowl through someone on Etsy, and I don't think that person makes gloves with it.  Wasn't sure if there were any other options.  Great idea though!  I'll pass it along to her to see if she would be able to do that

     

    Mara Jade Black Bodysuit Help (gloves!!)

    Greetings!  I have a friend who is not a member of the 501st yet, but she is really wanting to join.  She is super interested in doing a Mara Jade Black Bodysuit costume.  I've directed her to most places that I've found around here, except for gloves.  She is doing her costume based solely off of the CRL pictures.  So the off-white cowl, which means she needs off white gloves.  I have searched hi and low and cannot find any sort of gloves that would work!  Where can I direct her to go to get gloves?  I know they're supposed to be wrist length. But are they leather, cotton, etc? Thank you all so much in advance for any help/links!!

    So, thought I'd give a little update since it's been awhile :) Purchased the lightsaber hilt, obi, gloves, undermask, and mask from Wicked Armor recently!!!  Should be getting it within the next couple of weeks (depending on how busy they are and such).  I saw before on this post that people purchased gloves from other places, are the gloves from Wicked Armor not approvable?  It's all good if they're not, I'll just have an extra pair of gloves lying around the house :)

    Thanks everyone!!

    Awesome!!  Thanks!!!  Where do you recommend I get belt and gloves from?  I've seen some have used motorcycle gloves.  I can't remember off the top of my head... do the gloves need to flare out, or stay straight?

    I believe that if you go with the My Wicked Armor costume you don't have to make any alterations at all and you would only need a standard balaclava, not a full blackout mask. You can look for boots here at http://www.sovietboots.com/9-men-boots or you can try http://www.imperialboots.com/product-category/boots/ and have to wait for their next wave.

    Hey y'all!!  I'm Dru Shu from Manheim, PA (Garrison Carida).  Been a member of the 501st for 4 years now!!  My lone costume thus far is a ROTJ Royal Guard.  But I'm looking to do a Darth Nihilus (COTF).  Looking forward to this and to start giving me a variety to sign up with a choice of costumes!! :)  I started a WIP thread in the Darth Nihilus section here, so check it out and feel free to give me any advice/answer questions I may have!!  If you have any questions for me, or about me, feel free to ask!!!  Hope to get to know some of you through this process!!

    Hey y'all!!!  First off, let me introduce myself.  I'm from Garrison Carida (PA, DE).  I am currently a ROTJ Royal Guard (TR-70700).  Been in the 501st for 3 years now (I think?  Time flies by!!).  I was going to do a Kylo Red build, but have since decided that saving up for it will take entirely way too long, and we need more Nihilus' in our Garrison :) With all that being said, I decided to start doing a Darth Nihilus COTF version.  I was looking at Wicked Armor and was impressed with their full costume.  Are there any alterations that would need to be done in order to make it 501st approvable with Wicked Armor costumes?  They're having a sale currently ($536 USD I believe?), and it looks amazing.

    Also, what for boots do y'all recommend?  I'm a size 13 (US).

    And where does everyone get their blackout masks from?

    Thanks in advance for your help!!!  Can't wait to get started!!!
